2:42 Every time he exits that corner you can hear the difference between no boost followed by the savage tire shredding acceleration when he gets into boost.
He's pretty much always in boost. The KKK turbos are not all that big so don't need a lot to spin up because they don't have that much inertia compared with other larger ones. More importantly, the M119 is not really a race engine in the normal sense of peaky power and high revs. The older C9 delivered its maximum power at 7000 but more importantly, the torque peaked at a paltry 3500 and maintained almost the same level up to 6000. The point being that the engine _always_ had good power available. It was just a matter of how far the driver was prepared to put his foot down. The wheelspin here is probably just a bit of exuberance. oi65.tinypic.com/35hnyah.jpg
God I love forced induction!!!! torque torque and more torque. Powerhouse of an engine! imagine the levels of grip that’s overcome by the power to leave those nice 11’s
This is a phenomenal video Nick!! The C11 is beautiful, the engine is a work of art, the sound is intoxicating, and the flybys on the straights are badass!
Impossibru I disagree, the Jaguar XJR9 with its glorious V12 and the Mazda 787b with its howling rotary engine, the Peugeot 905 with its gorgeous V10 all completely humiliate any of the modern cars.
For me this is the Best Sounding Engine / Race Engine ever . Also when the Throttle is being relaesed and the Bulbing Base V8 Sound falls away while Braking . Perfect ..
wow what a beautiful throaty sound coming out of that mercs engine. and let us not forget the legendary driver of that car Mr. Michael Schumacher. Love u and your family hope your recovery is progressing at a speedy pace. Definitely a great loss to the driving world. To survive all those years with no major injuries just to be struck into a life changing coma on a ski slope. GET BETTER MICHAEL!!! YOU'RE THE GREATEST WHO EVER LIVED!!!
My Dad took me to Donington in 89 to see these race. The silver arrows dominated it and I ended up with a signed Jochen Mass poster. Was at Donington again for the Classic Car Event in 2013 and heard this beast again. Recognised it before I even saw it or new it was going to be there. Truly the best race car ever. Good vid mate. 👍🏻
What a cool Exhaust sound.That's made of cross plane crank shaft V8 engine. That's called Bouble sound,like an American hod rod. For example,this is chevy corvette in Le Mans. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Iz5JoGJaHMY.html アメ車のV8エンジンみたいなドロドロした音 まるでシボレーコルベット。
Oh yea... that V8 sounds dirty. I think currenty F1 cars either go back to the high pitched wail of pre-2009, or do a new style that sounds like this! Or let's go buck wild, allow any V8 manufactures want to build!
I've always been mystified one why these Mercedes group C cars were so dominant; maybe I know why now - Michael Schumacher. Well, I'm hearing these cars have some unusual handling characteristics. I keep getting different numbers on these cars horsepower numbers.
Bobby Olmsted Schumacher was a "Mercedes Junior" together with Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger. Schumacher only competed at Le Mans once in 1991, but he set the fastest lap of the race. Schumacher's talent was instantly spotted at the first test of the youngsters at Jerez. While Frentzen set the fastest lap of the day, Schumacher went faster than the juniors mentor Jochen Mass and used less fuel while doing so. Remember, Group C was a fuel consumption formula. Build whatever engine you want, but this is how much fuel you can use in the race - 600 liters for the 1000km races.
tommy9927 thank you so much for sharing that with me, I really need to sit down and do my homework it's fascinating to learn something new and I appreciate you taking the time to educate me interesting stuff
Absolute Mechanical Brutality.-Wonderful thing! Hard to believe this was a turbo'd engine. Especially considering the competing Porsche 962 Turbo Flat six had such a subdued sound. Thanks for an amazing video!!

It sounds badass. The GT games didn’t do a good job. A Danish game featuring a puppet, drives in a shitbrown Ford Taunus and it sounds just like the Sauber C11. LOL
